EVERLASTIG: FLLE°FLOORS 


Floor tiles of a durable, elastic, cork compound, 
capable of wide artistic and architectural treatment.

HE floor is the single surface of a building, inside or outside, that is subjected to traffic 

and dirt and that comes in contact with moving objects. It is the only part of the building 

that, literally, is wsed. Its function is wtility as well as appearance. The utility of 
hard, slippery, uncomfortable floors—hardwood, marble, tile, terrazzo, concrete, etc.—is question- 
able. These hard materials are often appropriate in appearance, but their physical characteris- 
tics disqualify them for floors, upon which one should be able to walk with a feeling of security 
and without noise or distraction and to stand at ease without fatigue. 


Certainly a floor that is capable of a wider artistic and architectural treatment than any of 
these materials; that will retain its original appearance under severe conditions; that is easy to 
clean and to keep clean; that is impervious to dirt and traffic; that is soft, resilient, comfortable to 
tired feet, backs, nerves; that one can walk upon with a feeling of security; that deadens distract- 
ing noises ;—such a floor is incomparably superior to the conventional flooring materials that have 
been used through custom rather than through reason. 


Everlastic Tiles are a composition of which cork is the basic ingredient. Cork is recognized 
as a wonderfully durable and elastic flooring material, and it is the cork of which they are mainly 
composed that gives to Everlastic Tiles their great wear-resisting quality and their soft, pleas- 
ant and secure foothold. Under foot these tiles are as soft and quiet as carpet, yet they are as 
sanitary and non-absorbent as glazed tile. 


Everlastic Tiles would be sufficiently distinguished by the beauty of their color and texture 
were they marked by these qualities alone. Just as they add beauty to a room, so they add utility. 
These characteristics combined with permanency make them distinct among all floors. 


Fverlastic Tile is so durable that it has been adopted by the Otis Elevator Company as a stand- 
ard flooring for their elevator cars. As an instance of its durability, we refer to the Everlastic 
Tile Floor in the Gray Drug Store at Forty-third Street and Broadway, New York, the photograph 
of which is on page 33 of this book. It has received seven years of severe and concentrated traffic 
intensified by the circumstance that the entrance to the Times Square station of the subway is 
through this store. A continuous throng passes over this floor night and day. It is in splendid 
condition to-day and good for many years more. 


Everlastic Tile Floors give all the advantages of carpet, with none of its drawbacks. 
Everlastic Tile Floors give all the advantages of marble, with none of its drawbacks. 


Everlastic Tile Floors can be laid on any smooth surface—wood, concrete, metal, composi- 
tion, hard tile, marble, etc. This is of particular interest to owners of buildings with existing wood 
or composition floors that require something better.

John Wanamaker Store, New York. Everlastic Tile Floor 
in Italian Room of the House Palatial. 


HE wide and unusual decorative possibilities afforded to the designer 

by Everlastic Floors are here indicated. The large, black slabs of 
Everlastic are a delightful reminder of the floors in vogue in Italian 
palaces of this period and style. What other material in dull black slabs, 
capable of being laid over a wood floor, could have filled so perfectly the 
unusual requirements of this interesting room? 


The design color plates shown on the following pages are generally reproductions of the 
designs used in the accompanying photographs. Where the same design is shown with 
another photograph, a color plate of a different design is shown as a suggestion. Strip 
borders only are shown in most of the color plates. Both interlocking and square tile 
can be furnished in any color or combination of colors.

HE floor for the large department store 

is probably the toughest problem of all. 
The vast areas and enormous traffic make 
economy and durability vital factors. To 
obtain with these qualities a floor of attrac- 
tive appearance that is soft and restful to the 
tired shoppers and that through its very 
silence under the tread of the crowds imparts 
a sense of luxury, would seem beyond reason- 
able expectation. Everlastic Tile possesses 
these qualities and, excepting wood, it is the 
least expensive flooring that can be obtained 
for the modern department store.

HE designer using Everlastic is 

free of the formalism required 
with the conventional materials avail- 
able for floors. To lift this store from 
the commonplace by mere floor treat- 
ment would with any other material 
probably entail a resort to the bizarre. 
Here, white tile of random shapes, 
sizes and shades are highly emphasized 
by black joints. The effect, though 
striking, is neither harsh nor too in- 
trusive. ‘The indefinite number of 
sizes, shapes and shades of tile and the 
random lengths of the black joints pro- 
duce a cob-web effect that weaves and 
softens the composition into a most in- 
teresting and pleasing whole. 


The color plate does not show the random shades, 
only the random sizes. The random shades ‘are also 
reproduced very inadequately in the photograph.

STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS for EVERLASTIC TILE FLOORS 


Evercastic Tite Fioors. There shall be Everlastic Tile Floors in (enumerate rooms or spaces) and on the treads 
and platforms of (enumerate stairways). All material from which this tile is fabricated shall be made of clean 
powdered cork, wood flour, pure linseed oil, gums and pigments, thoroughly mixed in the most approved manner, 
rolled, cut into sheets and seasoned in the sheet in drying rooms for a period of at least three months before the tiles 
are cut. Proof of the period of seasoning shall be given. ‘Tile must be homogeneous throughout. No material with 
a top surface or crust that is any harder or denser than the inside or core will be accepted. All tile shall be one- 
quarter inch thick, cut true to size and shape with absolutely square, clean cut edges. No tile with edges at all 
beveled will be accepted. The under side of the tile shall be serrated to insure proper bond with cement. All tile 
shall be set with Everlastic Waterproof Cement; on concrete backing, directly on concrete; on wood backing, can- 
vas or strong cotton fabric shall be thoroughly tacked to the wood and tile cemented to same. All joints must be 
thoroughly watertight. All Everlastic Tile Floors shall be manufactured and installed by David E. Kennedy 
Company or its duly authorized agent. 


SPECIFICATIONS for TOP FINISH OF CONCRETE BACKING 


Include in Mason Specifications, Floors. 


Concrete floors in all spaces where plans or specifications require Everlastic Tile Floors shall have a top layer or 
finish composed of one part standard Portland cement and two parts clean, coarse, screened sand. ‘This top layer 
shall be one inch thick and trowelled to a smooth and even finish exactly one-quarter inch below the required finished 
floor level. Joints shall be cut clear through this top layer not more than twenty feet apart, following the middle 
line of all floor beams and girders so that any shrinkage or settlement will follow these joints. As soon as this con- 
crete has set these joints shall be carefully and completely filled and trowelled smooth and even with the top surface. 
No lines shall be struck in the surface. It shall be delivered to the Everlastic Tile Contractor dry, broom clean and 
free from foreign material. No concrete that has been frozen, or with a chalky, scaly or crumbly surface, will be ac- 
cepted. This top layer shall be laid soon enough to dry thoroughly before the Everlastic ‘Tile is laid, but not so soon 
that the surface will become roughened or worn. Any worn or injured parts shall be properly patched before the 
Everlastic Tile is laid. Any concrete or masonry on which this top layer is laid that may be anywhere in contact with 
the ground shall be thoroughly waterproofed throughout by the mason contractor, 


SPECIFICATIONS for WOOD BACKING 
Include in Carpenter Specifications, Floors. 


The wood flooring in all spaces where plans or specifications require Everlastic Tile Floors shall be of seven-eighths 
inch tongued and grooved flooring not more than four inches wide, driven tight, thoroughly blind nailed and 
finished true and level exactly one-quarter inch below the finished floor level. All high butts and joints shall be 
planed. If laid over a concrete fill, this wood floor shall not be laid till the fill is absolutely dry. 


SPECIFICATIONS for BACKING BEHIND EVERLASTIC TILE COVE BASE 


Nore: Plaster, wood or any smooth material makes a suitable backing for Everlastic Cove Base. 


The plaster, wood (or whatever material the wall is of) shall be carried down to, and finished square with, the 
under floor, making a clean, right angle with same free from lumps, dirt and foreign matter. 


CONTRACT DEPARTMENT. The Company will make lump-sum contracts for floors installed complete. 
Estimates will be given from plans, which can be sent to any office of the Company, or it will send its representative 
to take measurements from either plans or the building. Architects and owners are invited to avail themselves of 
the Company’s special designing service. Branch offices are located in principal cities of the United States and 


Canada. 


AGENTS. In certain localities distant from the Company’s own offices David E. Kennedy Company has estab- 
lished agents, who are furnished with competent Everlastic Tile layers trained by the Company. Any duly author- 
ized agent of the Company is competent to execute contracts for the installation of Everlastic Tile Floors. 


SAMPLES. Samples of Everlastic Tile will be sent upon request without charge. 


Everlastic Tile can be laid quickly and quietly, without fuss or dirt. The fact that it can be laid on a wood or com- 
position floor is of particular interest to those that have existing wood or composition floors and that require some- 
thing better.
